The Charleston Tour traveled south to the sleepy little beach town of Edisto to play the Plantation course.  Always a fun track with nice scoring opportunities.  Mother Nature made sure she made it more difficult as she brought in cooler temperatures and some gusty wind conditions.

Introduced at this event was Charleston’s new system; “LIVE SCORING” which has been used at various regional events in the area.  This web based program gives us up to date standings, tracks pace of play, which everyone did a great job with on Sat and best of all it provides some interesting viewing as the leaders approach the last hole! 

In the Champ Flight, Marty Bunch and Stephan Kauble battled it out from the tips all day with Stephen’s front side two over propelling him to victory with an 82.  In the A flight, Biff Huff once again laughed at the wind and cold as he did at Wild Dunes; Biff also used a strong from side 36 to propel him to a one-shot victory over Will Gwaltney and Fred Dixon as the two posted 79 to Biff’s 78.  Great playing in the tough conditions.  The B Flight saw tour veteran Bill Chick use his accurate driving and nice putting skills to fire a round of 78 for a four-shot victory over Marc Godzi who posted a solid round of 82.  Doc Ravenel finished one shot behind Marc with a very smooth round of 83 taking third place money over Randy Tame who also posted an 83. James won the scorecard playoff with a back nine of 41 to Randy’s 43.  The C flight welcomed back Joey Blicker and Sean Metzger is style as the two returned for their first event of the year to take the top two spots in the C flight.  Joey posted a solid round of 84 for a three-shot victory over Sean Metzger who posted a solid 87.  The D flight was watched by all as John Wilson and Cowboy battled it out till the end.  The two were playing together and tied after hole sixteen.  John Wilson made a nice par of hole 17 to take a one-shot lead going into the difficult par five finishing hole.  Cowboy watched as John Wilson played smart so he went for the birdie finish but misjudged the wind.  John secured his first victory of the year with a two-shot win, 88 to 90.  This all unfolded in front of a nice crowd who gathered to watch them duel it out coming down the stretch.
